- 'tor' is an implementation of The Onion Routing system, as
- described in a bit more detail at http://www.onion-router.net/. You
- can read list archives, and subscribe to the mailing list, at
- http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/.
- Is your question in the FAQ? Should it be?
- **************************************************************************
- See the INSTALL file for a quickstart. That is all you will probably need.

- You only need to look beyond this point if the quickstart in the INSTALL
- doesn't work for you.

- Do you want to run a tor server?
- We're looking for people with reasonably reliable Internet connections,
- that have at least 768kbit each way. Currently we don't use all of that,
- but we want it available for burst traffic.
- First, copy torrc.sample to torrc (by default it's in
- /usr/local/etc/tor/), and edit the middle part. Create the
- DataDirectory, and make sure it's owned by whoever will be running
- tor. Fix your system clock so it's not too far off. Make sure name
- resolution works.
- Then run tor to generate keys. One of the files generated
- in your DataDirectory is your 'fingerprint' file. Mail it to
- tor-ops@freehaven.net.
- Please also tell us in that mail who you are, so we know whom to contact
- if there's any problem. Also describe what kind of connectivity the new
- server will have. If possible PGP sign your mail.
- NOTE: You won't be able to use tor as a client or server
- in this configuration until you've been added to the directory
- and can authenticate to the other nodes.
- You may find the initscript in contrib/tor.sh useful if you
- want to set up Tor to start at boot.
- Do you want to run a hidden service?
- Copy torrc.sample to torrc (by default it's in /usr/local/etc/tor/), and
- edit the bottom part. Then run Tor. It will create each HiddenServiceDir
- you have configured, and it will create a 'hostname' file which
- specifies the url (xyz.onion) for that service. You can tell people
- the url, and they can connect to it via their Tor client.
- Configuring tsocks:
- If you want to use Tor for protocols that can't use Privoxy, or
- with applications that are not socksified, then download tsocks
- (tsocks.sourceforge.net) and configure it to talk to localhost:9050
- as a socks4 server. My /etc/tsocks.conf simply has:
- server_port = 9050
- server = 127.0.0.1
- (I had to "cd /usr/lib; ln -s /lib/libtsocks.so" to get the tsocks
- library working after install, since my libpath didn't include /lib.)
- Then you can do "tsocks ssh arma@moria.mit.edu". But note that if
- ssh is suid root, you either need to do this as root, or cp a local
- version of ssh that isn't suid.
